I don't currently but I've been wanting to set one up just for a proof of concept.

Not my first choice for hosting a BBS, but given the limited internet options in my rual area it could end up being the only option. I'm blessed to have AT&T DSL, but if anything elver happens with that my only other options are satellite or 5G. From my experience with the 4G/5G networks its not possible to open up ports for incoming traffic. I'm not sure about the current satellite options...

It might be possible to set up a VPC through a cloud provider and still have the BBS in house...
